Description Preview
A critical OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) has been identified in SIMULIA 3DOrchestrate, affecting versions from Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2021x through Release 3DEXPERIENCE R2023x. This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the application. Successful exploitation could lead to complete system compromise, including unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of system configurations, and potential lateral movement within the network.
Overview
The vulnerability exists in SIMULIA 3DOrchestrate, a component of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by Dassault Systèmes. The application fails to properly validate or sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to system command execution functions. This allows an attacker to inject malicious commands that will be executed with the privileges of the application. The vulnerability is particularly concerning as it could allow remote attackers to gain initial access to the system and potentially escalate privileges. Organizations using affected versions of the software should consider this a high-risk vulnerability requiring immediate attention.
Remediation
- Update to the latest version of SIMULIA 3DOrchestrate that contains patches for this vulnerability.
- If immediate patching is not possible, implement network-level controls to restrict access to the vulnerable application.
- Implement input validation and sanitization at the application level if possible.
- Monitor system logs for suspicious activities that might indicate exploitation attempts.
- Follow the vendor's security advisories for additional mitigation strategies and patch availability.
- Implement the principle of least privilege for the application service account to minimize potential impact.
- Consider implementing web application firewall rules to block potentially malicious requests.
